Thanks.. I'm also installign it now.
There was also a patch for ActiveSync and Outlook2003 in there that fixed the bug of cached mode in Outlook when connected to an Exchange server than the user deleted an email from Outlook that it didn't sync to the PPC
The full fix list is here:

> including (one-way) Pocket PC sync
Isn't "export" the proper word for a one-way sync?

Do you happen to know a way to apply this fix on its own?

Not quite, since the process can be automated -- there's an option in OneNote to "automatically convert Outlook notes".

Downloaded and installed. Obviously some pretty low level fixes as I had to reboot the OS. But, so far all is OK and they don' t seem to have broken anything.

Well, something I overlooked. After installing the SP, it deactivates Microsoft Free/Busy Server to share your free/busy times. I use it as a free low-power alternative to share my calendar with my family.

Really? No reboot required on my machine.
BTW, I like the new options for junk mail in Outlook. If you haven't looked there yet, I suggest you do. :D

The Outlook stuff is not a big deal as we use Lotus Notes at work. Funny that you didn't need a reboot. Perhaps it depends on what other stuff you have installed. I had every security and critical update installed.

Same here. All patched up, and running on Windows XP pro.

Just learned that this Service pack broke my signatures in Outlook. I have multiple accounts with a different sig for each one. The information was still there, just lost all the mappings. :( Easy fix.
Does anyone know if this finally fixes the problem of Outlook 2003 not being able to save your login/password when connecting to Exchange 2003 via RPC-over-HTTP?? Needless to say it has been very annoying to have to type in your username/password each time you run Outlook (if you don't want to set up a VPN connection that is).
I have hosted-Exchange subscriptions for my family's personal accounts (tried both eOutlook and 1and1), and this problem has persisted across both providers and on all of our various PCs. They have even acknowledged the bug and said hopefully the next service pack would fix it. (Though I would be very interested to hear if anyone has not had this problem?)
Someone else had suggested the earlier Exchange 2003 SP might be the fix, but alas no. So I'm really hoping on this Office 2003 SP!

Oooh, good question. I didn't even try last night from home -- I had given up on that. :| I'll let you know if I try tonight...
Update: it doesn't work - still forgets the password. :evil: :cry:

Well I've downloaded. Just waiting to install it! Hopefully, this OneNote business will be good. :D

No way! I can't believe such a visible problem would not have been a priority to fix in the SP!? Especially since Microsoft is always saying how Exchange 2003 finally makes Exchange hosting services a real viable market and all that.
Unbelievable... But thanks Janak for confirming.

I don't know. :cry: I'll see if I can ask an Exchange MVP in my spare time (although I don't have a lot of that as of this moment).

I hope it's not some stupid little setting both of us are missing. I tried both Basic and NTLM auth; actually, Basic doesn't even have the save password checkmark.
